Introduction of 5 Wire Resistive Touch Screen

NJYTouch 5 Wire Resistive Touch Screen is of the most extensive application. It works by any kinds of physical touches, such as finger, gloved hand, rubber, etc. It is liquid resistance and contamination proof and even works in bad environment such as foul, dirt, greasiness, etc. 
NJYTouch 5 Wire Resistive Touch Screen supports RS-232 & USB interfaces for:
。LCD flat display: 8.9"–22"

5 Wire Resistive Touch Screen Benefits: 
。Long lifetime (almost ten times of 4 Wire Resistive Touch Screen) 
。Finger, gloved hand and stylus activation 
。Contaminant proof and liquid resistance 
。High accuracy and durability 
。High resolution and sensitivity 

5 Wire Resistive Touch Screen Working Principle: 
The 5 Wire Resistive Touch Screen is a two layer structure, 
1.ITO glass substrate with one side uniform resistive ITO coating. 
2. A very thick polyester ITO film is tightly suspended over the top of ITO glass substrate. This ITO film has a hard, durable coating on the outer side, on an inner side with ITO coating. 
3.The ITO glass and the ITO film is separated by printed small, transparent insulation spacer dots.
　When the screen is touched, it pushes the ITO film to have an electrical contact with ITO glass (both on the ITO coating side). It then produces a voltage which is the analog representation of the position touched.

　The 5 wire touch screen controller is always ready for a touch, and the resistive layer of touch screen is biased at +5V through 4 drive lines on the glass (ITO coating side) and the ITO film is grounded through a high resistance. When there is no touch on the screen, the voltage is zero on the ITO film. The voltage level of the ITO film is analog - to - digital converter (A/D converter) and monitored by the microprocessor on the controller.

　　　When the screen is touched, the microprocessor detects the voltage rise in the ITO film and begins to convert the coordinates. The microprocessor places the X drive voltage by applying +5V voltage to pins H, X and grounding pins Y and L. The analog voltage is proportional to the X position (horizontal) of the touch point and appears on the ITO film at pin S of the touch screen tail's connector. This voltage is digitized by the A/D converter and transmitted to the computer.

　In same process, the microprocessor places the Y drive voltage by the same +5V to pins H, Y and ground pins X and L. The analog voltage is proportional to the Y position (vertical) of touch point and appears on the ITO film at pin S of the touch screen tail's connector. The signal is converted and processed same as for the X position.

　The controller will receive all data to calculate the touched position according to pre-established modes for the exact X and Y coordinates.
